    @gblair, thank you, George. Lots of details indeed, but likely most of them will be hidden in the end.
    @chinesegeorge, thanks, George. It is good the instructions mention these various shades since I was not aware that those engines did have that,

    @chinesegeorge, thank you very much, George. I will do my best to make it look as beautiful as your build of this GSX-RR Suzuki. Definitely using your build as a reference.

    Made a start with the frame. Used silver from the Vallejo Metal Color series. This paint sprays real nice straight from the bottle.
    Detailing of the weld seam is nicely done by Tamiya.

    The silver spray looks nice, my friend @johnb! Indeed, the weldings are molded really well!

    Nice choice of colour for the frame, @johnb, it will look great with the engine installed..

    Nice engine, John (@johnb). It is amazing how quickly these motorcycle models grow in complexity. All of the metallic colors look great.
